The Strongest Mythical Emperor-Chapter 198: Shock the World
Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Shock the World
Hum——
The dragon energy seemed to come alive, transforming into a little Golden Dragon that twined around Qin Jun and ceaselessly howled, while at this moment, Qin Jun appeared as eerily blue and transparent as a phantom, his sword-like brows fiercely knitted, obviously enduring a level of pain unimaginable to ordinary people.
He could feel strange lightning furiously ravaging his internal organs, like the spleen and lungs, but miraculously, he wasn’t killed instantly; on the contrary, his organs were gradually strengthening.
Having ascended four levels and broken through to the Ascending Mortal Realm, his body was already in a state of transformation. The qualitative and quantitative changes in his true energy, now combined with the Bathing Thunder Pool’s tempering, gave Qin Jun a sense of ecstatic transcendence amidst the pain.
At this moment, he could acutely feel his own transformation; under this sensation, the agony seemed to diminish in significance.
"Your Highness, don’t forget to circulate your cultivation method."
Evening Star timely reminded, and Qin Jun quickly spurred the heart method of the Immortal Body. The lightning energy of the Bathing Thunder Pool was wildly tumultuous, suitable for tempering the body but not for energy refining.
As soon as the third level of the Immortal Body’s cultivation method was activated, Qin Jun’s pain lessened greatly. The lightning energy he absorbed became faster, yet it also became ordered and gentle.
The dragon energy coiling around Qin Jun also absorbed the lightning energy from the Bathing Thunder Pool. He attracted the pool’s energy like the center of a vortex, gradually forming a whirlwind visible to the naked eye.
Evening Star withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and then said to Black and White Impermanence and the others, "Leave one person here to wait, the rest guard outside, and who will go fetch Fa Hai and Li?"
"I’ll stay here to guard His Highness." Daji spoke up first, unwilling to take her eyes off Qin Jun for even a moment.
"Yuanba, come with me to bring Fa Hai and the others over," said Li Bai, turning to Li Yuanba. Although Li Yuanba was fierce, he was not as strong as Evening Star and Sha Wujing.
They understood why Evening Star tasked them with fetching Fa Hai and Li because, judging by Qin Jun’s condition, he likely wouldn’t depart anytime soon. If today’s events spread, Fa Hai and the others might find themselves in trouble.
Thus, it was best for everyone to gather together so as not to become leverage against Qin Jun.
Without objection from Li Yuanba, Evening Star led them out of the cave, leaving Daji to guard the edge of the Bathing Thunder Pool.
Qin Jun did not notice the others’ movements. He couldn’t spare the effort to open his eyes, fully concentrating on his practice. The volatile energy of the Bathing Thunder Pool was even more intense than the medicinal properties of the black poison miasma flower, turning Qin Jun’s state of mind from horror to delight.
He began to enjoy the sensation.
...
The Luo Emperor was killed, and the legendary Beigong Ancestor from ancient times was repelled!
One heavy piece of news after another shook everyone in the Imperial Dynasty to disbelief. The news spread rapidly, reaching every corner of the empire, and the unfolding events of the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition stirred hundreds of cities, with everyone wildly discussing the matter.
"Good heavens! Is it true?"
"The Emperor was slain by the freak from the kingdom? Are you kidding me?"
"Is Qin Jun really that monstrous? That was the Emperor, for goodness’ sake!"
"Didn’t you know? The top fighters of the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition were all eliminated by Li Yuanba in the first round, which infuriated the Luo Emperor. He sought to execute Qin Jun, but who knew Qin Jun’s men were so outrageously strong..."
"The Nanzhuo Emperor... just like that, he’s dead... Am I dreaming?"
Discussions like these filled every city. The reputation of Qin Jun and his associates rocketed at an incredible speed, especially Qin Jun. Though his cultivation was modest, the moniker ’Little Overlord’ spread far and wide, until eventually, even the ’Little’ was dropped.
Overlord!
Because the news involved the Nanzhuo Emperor, it spread unbelievably fast. Every kingdom subordinate to the Nanzhuo Dynasty received word and was boiling over with excitement.
Canglan Kingdom.
"What should we do now!"
Emperor Canglan roared at everyone in the court from in front of his dragon throne, all faces were grim, their bodies trembling.
Before, Qin Jun had said that after returning from the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition, he would smash through the Canglan Kingdom. Although they were somewhat worried at first, they did not panic; but when they heard that even the Nanzhuo Emperor had been killed by Qin Jun, endless fear spread throughout their hearts.
Even the Crown Prince Zhu Yishi was stupefied. Upon hearing the news of Qin Jun killing the Nanzhuo Emperor, his first reaction was disbelief, followed by despair.
Based on his observations of Qin Jun, this man was bound to retaliate if crossed. If he were to return, it would certainly spell the doom of the Canglan Kingdom.
"Speak up! Aren’t you all quite active usually? What’s the matter today?"
Emperor Canglan, seeing his civil and military officials deathly silent, was so angry he almost fainted from rage.
In the end, he collapsed onto the throne, utterly disheartened, and the entire grand hall fell into a terrifying silence.
...
Qianyue Kingdom, Imperial Palace.
"What? Is this news true?"
The Qian Emperor stood up abruptly, his face full of disbelief.
Shen Yan, the chief steward of the imperial palace, said tremblingly, "It should be true. The news has spread. It’s said that the Nanzhuo Dynasty is in complete chaos. His Highness Yue and his subordinates have not left the imperial capital, leaving the various powers within the capital helpless."
The court was silent. Even Nan Meng, the great general who stabilized the nation, was gaping, as if he had seen a ghost.
Although Qin Jun had previously shocked the entire country, nobody could have imagined that he would be capable of such an earth-shattering feat after arriving in the imperial capital.
Could this young man really have the backing of a colossal force beyond their imagination?
To them, the Nanzhuo Emperor who seemed like a deity was actually killed by Qin Jun. This news would probably take them a very long time to digest.
The Qian Emperor was stunned for a while, then burst into jubilant laughter, "Just as I expected of my son, a hidden dragon that rises amidst the storm, stunning everyone with its prowess!"
Watching the ecstatic Qian Emperor, the court officials hastily offered their congratulations.
They were equally excited. With such a dominant King Yue, once he ascended to the throne, the Qianyue Kingdom was sure to soar!
Of course, this point went unsaid amongst themselves.
After all, the Qian Emperor had not yet passed away.
But given Qin Jun’s brash nature, his return would likely lead to a transformation that would affect the entire Qianyue Kingdom.
The various factions within the Qianyue Kingdom had different reactions upon hearing this news.
Within the Xuanling Sect, all the high-level members and core disciples gathered together. After the messenger finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
"I knew it! Qin Jun would definitely become famous throughout the world!"
Chang Qianqian said excitedly, clapping her hands as if the fame belonged to her. Her voice brought everyone back to reality from their shock.
All who had seen Qin Jun had looks of shock on their faces, and Zhuo Junjie’s expression was particularly complex.
Having been defeated by Qin Jun twice in a row, he had always been sore about it and wanted a rematch. But upon hearing of Qin Jun’s feats, the fighting spirit in his heart instantly crumbled. frёewebηovel.cѳm
"I never thought there really existed someone far more talented than me in this world."
Zhuo Junjie thought with a bitter smile. Compared to Qin Jun, what kind of talent was he?
What did it matter that he had been on the list of renowned individuals?
Next to Qin Jun, he was simply a nobody, an even more ordinary than an ordinary passerby.
